Thank you to you all for the fantastic set you played at our wedding on Saturday. We have seen you perform a few times and as always, on Saturday, you had everyone up dancing and added to the brilliant atmosphere. It was so much fun and your talent, enthusiasm and simply great performance was noted by many of our guests. Thank you all so much - we can’t wait to see you all perform again! Love Claire and Jamie x

Thank you so much for everything last week. I would not hesitate recommending you to anyone. From organising things before (easy to communicate with, quick responses, accommodating) to the main event. We loved it, (which we knew we would) but it was wonderful to have so many guests remark how brilliant Bass 12 were. Overall it was a pleasure to have all the band there, which is important considering you guys were such a massive part of the evening. Then the performance - music and energy perfect for keeping wedding guests of all ages on the dance floor all night! Thanks again!
